Field Communication Hub — Share, Tag, Prove Progress

Group chats capture noise; a field communication hub captures proof. Centralize photo updates, notes, and tags so crews can share work, route issues, and prove progress with clean reports—without end-of-day scramble.

Why a hub beats chat for the field

Jobsites move through zones, trades, and handoffs. Without structure, photos sit in camera rolls and tasks hide in threads. A hub fixes three gaps:

  • Share updates with geo-tagged photos and area context.
  • Tag owners & trades with @mentions and #tags to route work immediately.
  • Prove progress with timestamps, before/after images, and exportable summaries.
The result is faster punch list tracking, clearer subcontractor coordination, and credible progress reporting.

Core capabilities of a field communication hub

Project & area channels

Organize threads by site, building, floor, or zone so jobsite communication stays searchable and audit-ready.

Photo-first updates

Attach images with captions and timestamps for QA/QC, safety documentation, and client visibility.

Mentions, tags & filters

Route decisions with @mentions and #tags (e.g., #MEP, #roof, #unit204). Filter by tag, person, or date.

Tasks & approvals

Convert posts to tasks with owners and due dates; close with an after photo for proof.

Read-only client views

Share curated updates with owners and inspectors—visibility without extra logins or noisy chats.

Mobile + offline mode

Capture in weak-signal areas and sync later. Ideal for towers, basements, and remote sites.
